Newt Gingrich is right in his statement about them being an ‘invented’ people. There is no such thing as a Palestinian people; the people that call themselves Palestinians are, for all intents and purposes, in language, genetics and culture, ARABS.

Yasser Arafat was not a Palestinian, he was an Egyptian.

Romney’s point was that we shouldn’t throw fuel on an already raging fire by claiming the Palis are invented, but as Newt said, Israelis are getting lobbed with Kassam rockets daily, so how could you possibly make their lives any worse by telling the truth about the lie that is the Palestinian people?

Yes, the Russians were very instrumental in making Arafat and the PLO as the voice of the Palestinians.

This has been raging at the UN for months. Newt's timing on this is actually very good.

The so-called Palestinians are trying to pull a fast one via the UN.
